Why Ridetech?
- Chassis Stiffness: These braces connect the upper trailing arm crossmember to the lower trailing arm frame bracket, delivering superior structural integrity that eliminates flex under extreme loads. Perfect for high-horsepower builds, they ensure power is transferred efficiently to the pavement.
- Handling: By reinforcing the rear suspension, these braces sharpen cornering response and stabilize the chassis, giving you confidence in aggressive driving scenarios, whether on the track or the street.
- Strongest Design Available: Constructed from 1.125″ O.D. x 0.219″ wall steel tubing, these braces are the most robust on the market, offering unmatched durability for even the most demanding applications.
- Double Adjustable Fitment: The innovative double adjustable design allows for precise fitment without the need for slotted holes, which can slip and compromise performance. Fine-tune your setup with ease and reliability.
- Clearance and Aesthetics: Countersunk and angle-cut brace ends allow for shorter bolts, improving ground clearance, strength, and visual appeal while simplifying installation.
- Materials and Finish: Featuring stainless steel adjusters and satin black powder-coated tubes, these braces resist corrosion and maintain their sleek look for years.
